He is the man who walked the town
He's seen the sights and heard the sounds
He's turned the streets to gold
Some new and others old
He is the man who walked the town
He is the one to turn their heads
Others they followed as he led
He makes the people smile
Say hello it is worth the while
He is the one to turn their heads
He'll keep on walking until the end
He's the one to call as your friend
And on the day he dies
He'll be walking up to the skies
He'll keep on walking until the end

We come running with the city alight
Spending lotsa money on a Satudray night
We get right down to the music and wine
We go right back to the starting line
Order up another like we own this place
Don't bother nobody see the smile on my face
We go all out in a blaze of fun
We go all night til the setting sun
Hold em up lets raise a glass
The ones before us kicking ass
The Vince Neil's and Tommy guns
The men who walked the town
They come running when we hit the spot
Rolling roller coaster going off at the top
We get right down to the music and wine
We go right back to the starting line
Order up another like we own this place
Dragster spaceship bulletface
We go all out in a blaze of rock
We go all night til the music stops
Hold em up lets raise a glass
The ones before us kicking ass
To all the leppards and the leds
The men who walked the town
Hold em up lets make a toast
The pioneers of rock and roll
The keith moons and mr Bon
The men who walked the town

well, it’s another lost day in suburbia
and all the girls are making up for lost time
you never thought that losing face would disturb ya
but now you’re waiting for the church bell’s chime
I think you know
that it’s high time
to throw your worries into the ring
you’ve got to go
pull the trigger
don’t let ‘em feel the summer’s sting
and if you ever wanna say you feel like running away
the bastards got to running you down
Put your feet to pavement
let your heart lead the way
just ask the Man Who Walks the Town
I’ll keep the lights on, engines running
they've gone and put some kind of drug in the air now
it’s really getting harder to breathe
but all the hipsters and the Ardmore highbrows
You’d think they’re walking on a trampoline
You’re not that gone
we can find ya
the plastic’s off the furniture now
just carry on
I’m behind ya
step up and take your victory bow
and if you ever wanna say you feel like running away
the bastards got to running you down
Put your feet to pavement
let your heart lead the way
just ask the Man Who Walks the Town
I’ll keep the lights on, engines running
there’s a case of Scottish Ale
at the Shell on Cloverdale
you know I’ll meet you there
if you think you can
make it
and if you ever wanna say you feel like running away
the bastards got to running you down
Put your feet to pavement
let your heart lead the way
just ask the Man Who Walks the Town
I’ll keep the lights on, engines running

All you gotta do my friend
is put one foot in front of the last
The only thing you leave behind
is pavement and the past
and while you're wearing out your soles
you're building something new
the player of so many roles that's why they call you
The man who walked the town
From West End to Holly Avenue
the streets all look the same
and over in Buena Vista
they mispronounce the name
In Sherwood Forrest there is no
Robin Hood any more
They say the hardest steps you take
are the first ones from your door
For The man who walked the town
They ask you "what you doin', son?"
as you smile and give a nod
counting all your paces
as you ache to be reshod
but you laugh at all their insults
when the shoe's on the other foot
and when they finally drag you away
I wonder where they'll put
The man who walked the town
All the people laugh and say
the man has lost his mind
but when the streets are silent
and shadows are long
that's when you'll find
The man who walked the town

Watch me walk, mother trucker, watch me walk
If you're standing out on 7th Street, you might see me talk
If there's a town to be eaten, well, I might eat it all
Watch me walk, mother trucker, watch me walk
Watch me walk, mother trucker, watch me walk

The man who walked the town on these streets
They say he was just the best greater than you or me
Some say he left his mark with his feet
going places everyday, until he just up and went away
No one knows what became of him
We all hope that he'll be back one day again
The Man who walked the town
The man who walked the town will return
They say he'll know us all by name,and he'll teach us what he's learned
He'll hold our hands and walk with us all the way
If I ever get the chance well I hope to shake his hand one day
If you believe in him you can walk for miles on end
Spread the news to everyone that we are all his friends
The Man who walked the town

Step by step
What you see is easy to forget
Living in this town
Sometimes we don’t look around enough
Sometimes it gets tough
Used to spot him here and there
It felt like he was everywhere
But he’d always say hello
And you could tell he was in the know
By the tales that he could spin
About all the places he had been
The man who walked the town
Saw the world unbound
The man who walked the town
Knew every beat on every street
And he followed that sound
From Cherry back to Fourth
He took a break and went back north
And where Wachovia turns to Broad
He would gaze at an old façade
Past diners and those watering holes
Full of secrets no one knows
From Five Points to Warwick Road
That local music filled his soul
The man who walked the town
Saw the world unbound
The man who walked the town
Knew every beat on every street
And he followed that sound
He used to say, 10K before 10A -OK
The man who walked the town
Saw the world unbound
The man who walked the town
Knew every beat on every street
The man who walked the town
Saw the world unbound
The man who walked the town
Knew every beat on every street
And he followed that sound
